HPUD: The abundance of Hive
I am not even three hours into my day yet and it has already been a pretty good one so far. The ride to work was smooth sailing, I powered up 100 Hive for HPUD day, and I snagged a pretty nice card in my daily Splinterlands quest rewards.
It is a little hard to be excited about the sudden green wave in the markets when you know it potentially comes at the expense of the people suffering in Ukraine. At least that is what many articles I have seen are pointing to.
I am hesitant to say this could be the catalyst that crypto needed to prove its validity, but it is hard to argue about the utility of blockchain and cryptocurrencies when we are seeing first hand how easy it is for governments to withhold individuals money from them.
Maybe that isn't the case, but either way, I hope this situation gets resolved quickly to the benefit of the Ukrainian people, and I hope that we all remember the lessons we learned from this and don't quickly fall back into the same apathy.
In case you are wondering about the opening picture, that is an old coin I found the other day when I was doing some cleaning at home. It doesn't have much relevance beyond the fact that it is a kind of cool coin and it is money therefore where better to post it than on Leo Finance.
I shared this with @bdmillergallery the other day. I don't remember exactly where I got it from, but if I had to guess, it likely game from an older couple that use to go to our church who were missionaries in Taiwan. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that is the most probable place that it came into my possession from.
I was joking in my comment that this is likely the oldest thing I own, having a date of 1880 on it. That's 142 years. Can you even imagine? 142 years and halfway around the globe yet somehow it ended up in my possession. Now we can send NFTs and currency in a split second all over the world. How things are changing!
In case you were wondering, here's the proof of my power up. I should be well on my way to 40K HP now. I actually used some of the HIVE that I earned from the Superbowl betting board to do this power up. I earned about 350 from winning twice on that board. I knew I wanted to save some for the next HPUD so I could power it up. I took a third of it and did that today. I took another third earlier in the month and converted that to LEO. I plan on keeping the final third liquid in my account for now.
I briefly made it to Diamond III this past season in Splinterlands, but I fell back into Gold I before the season ended and I wasn't able to make it back out. This morning when I found myself back in Silver I and I completed my daily quests, I wasn't expecting much when I opened my four reward chests.
Imagine my surprise when I hovered over the third card and found that it was shaking with that beautiful legendary twerk. Then, imagine my shock when the card started to turn gold! Talk about an awesome surprise. Looking at the price that is just about $100 added to my holdings simply for playing a game. It is amazing.
There is so much exciting stuff happening here on HIVE. If you aren't hyped about it you have to be living under a rock. If you are new to the platform and you are having second thoughts, just look at what I accomplished in a day. In a morning even, the day has barely started.
Where else do you think HIVE is going to take me today? Where will it take you?

Nice one on the Gold Djinn. I have a stack of old coins somewhere, not as old as that one of yours.
Thanks! I was really surprised by the pull. You should dig them out and do a post about them!

Might be an idea, my content these days is quite predictable.
It pays well though... :)

100HP Power Up!!! Nice! Love the coin too. Hang onto it, it only gets older as each year passes. lol.
You know that I've shared several old things over the years here on hive.. Pocket watches, coins, antiques and what not. Myself and Molly included, because we are old. lol. The oldest thing in the house would have to be a book. I have this book that is written in Latin. I don't know a whole lot about it, but someday I'll be inclined to look into it more. It's not in the best shape but still together. It has a a calf or pig skin binding. The year printed is in Roman Numerals - MDLIII or 1553 .. So I guess I could say it's from the Medieval period? Weird to think about that. Anyhow I'll attach a photo below..
That is really awesome! You ever tried to do any kind of Google translate on the text?

Nope.. Not yet. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. Doubt it's worth anything, but it's definitely old!
Looks like it might be poems. From New York maybe.
40k HP is the dream @bozz. Hope you get there sooner than you expect. It would take a lot of time & effort for me to get there and I am sure it wasn't an easy road for you either. Happy HPUD!

No, it has definitely not been fast or easy! I bought some of my power very early on when STEEM was $4 or $5. It was enough to push me up to like 500 and everything from there has been hard work.

Wow nice GFL. I haven't gotten a GFL from reward chests yet. I do agree that Hive is fairly exciting and I am waiting for quite a few apps to get released.

Thanks, I was pretty surprised. I have gotten some GFL's in packs, but I think this is the first one I have gotten from reward chests.

I'm still Withdrawing my cash at my max of $500 a day, my indirect protest to my bank. Will my 'Suspicious' actions prompt a phone call from the Bank? Waiting to see.

Good luck with that! I hope it all works out for you.
That’s a cool ass coin! I had a coin from the 40’s I think but mistakenly spent it hahah was mad about that one!
Sweet card for SL, I’m trying to get some of my GF legendary cards leveled up while I can and the prices are acceptable. Focusing on one now that keeps being a bastard and going up in price each time I get close to affording it lol
SL has certainly been dipping into my PUD funds but thankfully I still managed to get 30 powered up so I’ll take that as a win.
30 is nothing to be disappointed about, especially when the price is over $1.00 or right around there. Yeah, now is a good time to maximize those cards if you have the funds. I expect before long things will pick up again and many of us will be wishing we had taken advantage.
